Maybe it's not so strange that the instantly-created, painful vacuum was replaced, to some extent, less than 90 days later by The Beatles and the following British Invasion.

On-air presenters certainly became much more satirical and cynical - and in short order.

Pearl Harbor; Challenger; 9/11. For me, JFK's assassination was the first. I was in 7th grade and had just finished taking an exam when the teacher told me what happened. The world was suddenly much different, less promising.

Meanwhile, if the Kennedys ever become the basis for another whacked-out cult, will the "Magic" bullet become the "Holy" bullet...?
